Dalton Trans., 2015, 44,7395-7403DOI: 10.1039/C4DT03051F, PaperLin Cheng, Jie Li, Qiancheng Zhang, Lisha Ma, Jucai YangThe oxidation of alcohol to acetaldehyde catalyzed by (bpy)CuI-TEMPO/NMI is investigated by the density functional method. On the basis of the studied catalytic cycle, a possible mechanism is presented to explain the experimental observations.The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry
